food queen

Chapter 3

The so-called food does not speak, sleep does not speak.

This meal was just the beginning of someone saying these few words, and when Han Qian devoted himself to the sauce-flavored chicken drumstick in the bowl, the whole dinner table became quiet.

After the meal, Zhongyi waited for Han Entropy to hold the calming tea offered by the maid, and asked the eldest princess: "The crown prince is here today, what is the matter?"

As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard this, she immediately winked at the maid serving beside her, and all the people quietly retreated out.

The eldest princess smiled lightly: "It's nothing, I just came back from outside and brought back some local rituals and specialties from outside, because our aunt and nephew haven't seen each other for several years, so I just have time to visit today, and I just happened to be taking a nap , the eldest brother is not at home, only the second child sat with him for a while and then left."

"Since the original crown prince was abolished, the position of crown prince has been vacant for so many years. Now that the crown prince is newly established, the kings will definitely not accept it..." When Zhong Yihou started nagging about the political situation in the court, Han Qian, who was full of food and drink, began to fight. Yawned, arched into her mother's arms, clicked her mouth and prepared to sleep aftertaste of the smell of sauced chicken legs.The things her father said were not as attractive to her as a piece of chicken wing or a piece of Xiangfei cake.

In a daze, Han Qian felt that someone had twisted her face, so she tilted her head in a daze, opened her mouth and bit the man's finger, and then heard a chuckle: "Silly girl, what's the matter?" Fell asleep?"

"Oh, mother. You pinched me..." Han Qian hugged her mother's arms again, complaining softly.

"Your father said, Mrs. Ninghou's birthday party is the next day. Your cousin said that Mrs. Ninghou misses you and wants to pick you up for a few days. Will you go?"

"Go." Han Qian immediately got up and crawled out of her mother's arms, "I like the corn pancakes in Ninghou Mansion the most, they are delicious!"

Han Jiankai smiled helplessly: "My good sister, besides food, can you have something else?"

"Huh?" Han Qian stared blankly at her second brother with an innocent and cute expression.

Han Jiankai raised his forehead again—well, his little sister is good at pretending to be innocent besides loving to eat.

"When you are a guest at someone's house, you must remember to be polite, you know?" The eldest princess held her daughter in her arms and whispered, "You must listen to your sister and don't be willful. There was a tantrum at home..."

"Got it! Mother!" Han Qian put his arms around the neck of the eldest princess, stepped forward and kissed her mother's face, and proudly showed off: "It's not the first time I've been to Ninghou Mansion. Mrs. Yao is very kind to me!"

The eldest princess smiled slightly, if Mrs. Yao didn't like her daughter as if she was her own, she would not be willing to let the child run to Ninghou Mansion from time to time.What's more, although the Han family is full of wealth and nobles, and she is also a royal daughter, anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the imperial capital, the Wei family of Ninghou Mansion is the real power in the government and the public. It is the time when the important position is in full swing.

Furthermore, the Han family is naturally a prominent nobleman, but the main power of the Han family is on the side of the long house. The Duke of the Town, Han Yuge, holds the military power, and Han Yuge waits bravely to lead the Minister of the Ministry of War.And I, the eldest princess, is nothing more than a glamor on the bright side, and the emperor has no brother-sister relationship with me. Over the years, my three sons have gradually entered the eyes of the emperor because I know how to advance and retreat, and I Her husband also helped the emperor take care of some shady matters, so this eldest princess mansion of my own can only maintain the splendor that a royal daughter should have.

"Mother, shall I go early tomorrow morning?" Han Qian asked, shaking the eldest princess' neck.

The eldest princess regained her senses, looked down at the little daughter in her arms, and said with a light smile, "If you want to go, ask them to pack your things for you tonight. Your cousin Minger will send a car to pick you up."

"Then there's still 'Apricot Jelly', I want to bring some for my wife to taste."

"Yes." The eldest princess nodded in agreement.

That night, Mrs. Zhou, the wife of the son-in-law of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, was busy for most of the night for her sister-in-law to go out. It was almost four o'clock when she went to bed. He hammered his shoulder and sighed: "At that time, I thought life would be more comfortable without a difficult sister-in-law in this mansion. Who would have thought that my life is doomed to be a hard-working life!"

"Madam, drink some ginseng soup and go to sleep. You have to worry about people coming from Ninghou's mansion tomorrow morning. We hope that the second master's new daughter-in-law can come in early and help Madam."

"Pull it down!" Mrs. Zhou drank the ginseng soup and spat aside, "It's not like I haven't seen the eldest girl of the Feng family before. She smells like old vinegar. I don't know what the eldest princess likes in her."

"Although the old man of the Feng family has retired from the cabinet, the influence of the Dingbeihou Mansion is still there. The eldest girl of the Feng family is the niece of Mrs. Dingbeihou's wife, and the Dingbeihou Mansion is closely related to the Ninghou Mansion. There are countless connections. I heard that Mrs. Dinghou has a glass factory in Jinxi. It is a joint stock business with Mrs. Ninghou, and the money has been earned. Madam, think about it, they also rely on the opening of the business in Jinxi The power of the Feng family, isn't the eldest princess just interested in him?"

"How can they compare with our Zhou family?" Mrs. Zhou cast a disdainful glance at the door, as if standing there were the big families of the Feng family and the Wei family.

The dowry maid echoed with a smile and said: "Of course this is impossible. Who doesn't know that our An Yihou family is full of loyal family members, and now our old Hou Ye is firmly in the position of the chief minister of the cabinet and also the prince and tutor. Who is more prestigious?" , it’s no better than going to our house.”

After breakfast the next day, Han Rui, the wife of the eldest son of the Ninghou Mansion, sent a carriage and two nuns back to her mother's house. Come to see the eldest princess to pick up Han Qian.

The Eldest Princess inevitably told her daughter to turn around again, and dragged Han Qian's wet nurse, maid, and other five or six people into their ears, repeatedly telling them to take care of the little Princess, and don't let her cause trouble in the Ninghou Mansion, etc. , Fang watched his precious daughter being led out by the nanny.

Seeing that the Eldest Princess was a bit bored, Mrs. Zhou persuaded with a smile: "The eldest girl has always been safe, and she will naturally take care of my younger sister when she goes there. Don't worry about the Eldest Princess."

The eldest princess smiled suddenly: "I'm not worried that the eldest girl can't take good care of her, I'm worried that this girl will make a joke in Ninghou's mansion."

Mrs. Zhou also laughed: "Princess, why worry, Mrs. Ninghou dotes on our little princess very much. From the point of view of her daughter-in-law, what she likes is our little princess's innocence, free-spiritedness, and those well-behaved children. It's not in her eyes yet."

The eldest princess laughed and sighed: "That's what you said. Forget it, since this crazy girl is not at home, we should be quiet for two days. The marriage between the second child and the eldest girl of the Feng family should also be urged."
